GREENSBORO - Eighteen
members of the North Carolina A&T football team spoke to Allen Middle
School male students during Meet The Aggies Day on Monday, Nov. 17. The student-athletes
discussed topics such as education, life as a student-athlete, manhood and
personal testimonials that led to where they are now as men.

The talks with the male students of Allen Middle School was
informative and revealing. Junior safety Travis Crosby discussed the right but
difficult decisions he made concerning focusing on his grades and athletics
instead of hanging out with friends doing the wrong things. Senior defensive
end Tony Mashburn told the students how he made the effort to stay away from
being academically ineligible. Now, he is on track to earn his degree.
